]]> HAWAII’S relentless Kilauea volcano is spitting deadly lava up to 180ft into the air six weeks since the monster first began its terrifying eruption sparking fears the devastation is far from over.

In the latest update from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the organisation which has been monitoring the beast since its very first explosion on May 3, warned blistering lava has been seen shooting out of the volcano reaching heights of 180ft as Big Island remains on red alert.

The eruption shows no sign of stopping with USGS warning: “The eruption in the lower East Rift Zone continues with little change.”

Lava is currently spilling out of Kilauea’s Fissure 8 and pooling towards the ocean where the combination of blistering heat from the lava and the cool water creates laze, a toxic phenomenon containing hydrochloric acid that when it comes into contact with skin causes severe rashes and blindness in eyes.

Fleeing locals, initially warned not to head to the ocean to avoid laze, have been dealt another blow as the USGS warned laze is being blown in land making it impossible to fend off.

USGS said: “Lava fountains up to 187 feet tall rise from the Fissure 8 spatter cone and feed the established channel that transports lava to the ocean at the Kapoho coastline.

“One main ocean entry is producing a billowing plume of laze that is being blown onshore.”

The USGS added: “High winds may waft lighter particles to greater distances.

“Residents are urged to minimise exposure to these volcanic particles, which can cause skin and eye irritation similar to volcanic ash.”

Laze is one one of a long list of hazards residents are desperately attempting to avoid in their escape from the angry volcano.

Killer lava is the most dangerous hazard, which as well as having swallowed more than 600 homes during its frightening wrath, it has also added a further 120 acres of land to the island – the equivalent of 38 football pitches.

The lava is traveling thick and fast too, at a speed which could fill an entire Olympic swimming pool every 25 seconds.

The coast itself is also extremely dangerous as the USGS has warned the end is unstable and could break off and fall into the ocean putting yet more lives at risk.

A map of the 50th US state shows lava has gobbled up a fifth of of Big Island as more than 2,000 residents run for their lives.

Big Island is also experiencing 35 earthquakes an hour with sharp volcanic glass fragments being spat from the menacing volcano as well as a blanket of ash that threatens to paralyse the island.

The volcano began its lengthy eruption six weeks ago after locals spotted cracks in the road, the result of bubbling press mounting underground.

]]> EXPLOSIONS of ash continue to belch from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano causing “heavy vog to blanket the interior and southern parts” of Big Island. But what is the latest air quality index and what are the health hazards of vog? Here is what you need to know.

Experts from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said Kilauea’s lava flows remain extremely active and it is impossible to predict when the volatile volcano  will stop erupting.

Lava flows are steadily moving westwards although they are still largely confined to the southern tip of Big Island.

But officials are just as concerned about the decreasing air quality, warning vog is being swept along larger swathes of Big Island.

An explosion on Saturday evening “produced an ash plume that rose up to 10,000 feet and dispersed”, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.

Winds have carried the volcanic smog for thousands of miles westward, reaching as far away as the western Pacific island of Guam.

Laze, a hazard steam cloud formed when lava hits seawater, is also creating air quality concerns.

What are the latest air quality index alerts?

In its latest update at 6.30pm local time on Friday (5.30am BST Saturday), Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency said: “The National Weather Service reports heavy vog is blanketing the interior and southern parts of the island, impacting Hilo and wrapping around to Kona through the weekend.”

Current conditions are classed as “unhealthy for sensitive groups” in Kailua-Kona and Ocean Views, with the trend said to be “increasing”.

The “Unhealthy for sensitive groups” level, measuring 101 to 150 in numerical value, means healthy individuals with asthma are likely to be affected as are people with lung ailments.

In the worst cases, “most asthmatics who are active outdoors are likely to experience some breathing difficulties”, according to Hawaii State Department of Health.

The air quality was at 119 on the Air Quality Index (AQI) for Kailua-Kona, at the time of writing.

The tourist hotspot sits on the west of the island while Ocean View is in the south-west.

Mountain View, situated north of Kilauea in the Puna district where fissure eruptions are near constant, currently has a “moderate” air quality.

Why is vog so dangerous?

Vog is a carrier of life-threatening sulfur dioxide and can penetrate the skin, tissues, and membranes of the body.

The toxic gas can cause breathing difficulties and “respiratory distress in some individuals”, according to USGS.

The scientific agency says: “Aerosol particles in vog can also penetrate deep into human lungs and, at elevated levels, can induce symptoms of asthma.

Physical complaints associated with vog exposure include headaches, breathing difficulties, increased susceptibility to respiratory ailments, watery eyes, sore throat, flu-like symptoms, and a general lack of energy.”

Vog is not only dangerous for humans but it can kill plants.

When sulphuric acid meshes with moisture on foliage, this results in a severe chemical burn that damages the plant tissue.

Plumes of vog can also cause acid rain – a danger to farmers and agricultural crops.
